Dr. Vivek Mundada is a British Board-certified consultant paediatric neurologist with 14 years of experience, trained in both India and the UK. After completing his MBBS and initial diplomas in India, he undertook specialist training in Paediatric Neurology and Neurodisability in the UK, gaining his CCT (Completion of Specialist Training) and fellowship (FRCPCH) from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. He has worked at leading UK hospitals including Great Ormond Street Hospital, Royal London Hospital, Addenbrookes Hospital, and Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. His work on acquired brain injury was formally acknowledged by the House of Lords, UK.
Dr. Mundada treats a wide range of complex neurological conditions in children, from neonatal neurology through adolescence. His particular expertise spans childhood epilepsy (especially complex and difficult-to-control cases), childhood headaches, cerebral palsy, movement disorders, developmental delays, and neuromuscular disorders such as spinal muscular atrophy. He was instrumental in introducing gene therapy for spinal muscular atrophy in the UAE in 2020—the first such treatment in the region—and has since helped many infants from across the Middle East, Asia and Africa receive this life-changing therapy.
Dr. Mundada is an active teacher and researcher, serving as faculty for international training courses run by the British Paediatric Neurology Association. He is a member of major professional bodies including the British Paediatric Neurology Association, European Paediatric Neurology Society, International Child Neurology Association, British Academy of Childhood Disability, and the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine. He is well suited to families seeking expert diagnosis and management of complex childhood neurological problems, particularly epilepsy, headaches, or movement disorders.
